A material restoration system disclosed herein. The material restoration system includes a first composition (referred to herein as Composition A) and a second composition (referred to herein as Composition B). Composition A is a cleaning, stain-lifting, and rejuvenation product which is permeable into many construction materials (i.e. concrete). Composition A is capable of removing surface contaminants, including salt, surface rust, calcification and hard water byproducts, oxidation, and efflorescence. Composition A permeates into the material and acts to lift stains. Composition B is a surface applicant and can be used to resurface construction materials (particularly concrete) or fill voids and damage broken construction materials. Composition B has strong bonding properties and is able to provide structural benefits when used to fill cracks and chips.

The present invention is directed at coatings for oven bake clay that when applied make the surface of the resulting object food safe. Among the many different possibilities contemplated, the coating may contain one or more food safe plastics that may be in particle form and may form suspensions or colloids when mixed with water, food safe oil or other food safe liquids to ease application. Among the many potential additional ingredients contemplated, the coating may contain one or more surfactants to improve the formation of a suspension or colloid or one or more food safe dyes so that the oven bake clay can be painted. Among the many methods of making the coating contemplated, the components may be mixed to form a suspension or colloid through one or more of agitation, stirring or sonication. It is further contemplated that the coating may be applied to an unbaked oven bake clay object and then baked or alternatively applied to a baked oven bake clay object and then re-baked.

The present invention relates to processes for producing fiber cement products as well as to the fiber cement products obtainable therewith. More specifically, the present invention relates to fiber cement products that are suitable for being subjected to ink-jet printing, which fiber cement products at least comprise on their outer surface one or more cured layers of a first coating composition, which at least comprises a binder and a pigment and which is characterized by a pigment volume concentration of higher than about 40%. The invention further provides processes for producing such fiber cement products. Moreover, the present invention provides processes for producing ink-jet printed fiber cement products and ink jet printed fiber cement products obtainable therewith. The present invention further relates to various uses of these fiber cement products, in particular as building materials.
